    i think there is a difference between great clubmen and superstars of the club, it’s easy to roll out names like Teddy, keary, Manu being great clubmen, but they fall into their own category of superstars, clubmen to me are the likes of ricketson, Aubo, friend.

    They were all one club players who never really got that much recognition by those outside the roosters, because they weren’t out and out superstars, but players who did the same job consistently every time they played, they played wherever the coach needed them too.

    So from the current crop, I’d say Toops and Nat butcher, don’t have that much value in the open market because they aren’t flashy, so they’ll probably stay at the club long term for a bit less than offered elsewhere, and butcher will be the player who plays lock 2nd row,prop and off the bench, making him the new Aubo.
    Yeah fair point. Butcher has that versatility (like Maubs, Flannery, Rigon) & has the vibe as a life long Rooster.
    Radley has the (Cordner) life long vibe about him where you couldn't see him playing anywhere else. Toops included.

    With anyone else it depends a lot on how long Robbo is coach. Without him & in a ordinary team having some bad seasons you could see them leaving for NZ & QLD...etc

              I think Manu will be one along with Rads & have a feeling about Butcher for some reason, & of course Teddy.
